*Remember.....
if you fill in a pool and hide it under the dirt, you must disclose that fact upon selling the home. The excavation costs for a new pool in the location where the old one was, could be astronomical.
|
FILLING IN A POOL CREATES AN EXPENSIVE LIABILITY TO THE HOME
|
If you replaster, the beast continues to eat. The costs and
maintenance goes on and on.
